I remember the Pre-internet era of no-stream tv programming. Instead of a complete season in one night it was 1 episode a week for 32-40 weeks. September through May with a Thanksgiving/Christmas-New Years season/Easter week hiatus of 5 combined weeks(3 of those weeks were in December and January). And random repeats of prior season during Summertime, but not all tv shows were ‘repeated’. Only select programs were given the summer repeat status. And the entire season 32-40 episodes of that season certainly could not be aired in that 12 weeks. So Netflix doing a half season release is similar yet different. And it’s ok by me.
Plus, we had to deal with reality disasters and national political or tragic event tv interruptions during the day or evening programs. Therefore, an entire episode, or a few of them, during the week(daytime soaps like General Hospital, Ryan’s Hope, Search For Tomorrow, Guiding Light, etc) were never viewed or repeated as they ran 5 days a week all year long with no hiatus/break. Now they have short seasons.

Be grateful for the technological advancements with computer tv program streaming no matter how the networks choose to release the episodes/seasons. Or we could petition networks to stop streaming and return to a one episode a week stream drop system? (this is a rhetorical question), my point is made. Discussion complete.
